About Rachel

A Little Bit About Me

Hi, I'm Rachel! 🐾 I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember and am pursuing animal care full-time. I'm a proud Star Sitter on Rover with a 5.0 rating and 48+ five-star reviews — and I bring that same heart to every Housley Happy Paws visit. At home I have Moose (yellow lab), Cookie (chihuahua), three cats, and hermit crabs, so I truly understand how much your pets mean to you.

I'm based right here in Lancaster, PA, and I've had the privilege of caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Every single one has my full attention and a lot of love.

"I treat your pets the way I'd want mine treated — like they're the most important thing in the room."
